A Little’s Guide to #Bleisure trips in London

#Bleisure

Business + Leisure means = Bleisure. The new portmanteau of business travel.

#Bleisure, a buzzword combining business and leisure, is one of the latest trends dominating business travel. As individuals face increasingly long working hours and stress in work, this new trend seeks to combine the efficiency of business travel with leisure activities most often associated with a holiday. This trend aims to help people work more effectively – creating a more relaxing experience and allowing them to discover the city in which they are working. So, whether its slotting in a spa treatment at the end of a long day, or taking an hour-long chauffeur-driven sightseeing tour of the city, business travellers are determined to experience more of what is outside the meeting room. Here at Little’s we’ve compiled a list of our top Bleisure experiences in London.

Berkeley Health Club & Spa – Bringing the tranquillity of the British countryside to the heart of the city, the Berkeley Health Club & Spa offers a sumptuous experience for those wishing to de-stress. Guests are welcome to enjoy the rooftop pool and secret garden on the seventh floor. A few hours spent here can transport anyone away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Skin looking dull after a long flight? Any of the Spa’s facials are guaranteed to leave skin glowing. Or, if your back is knotted after a day of back-to-back meetings, one of the Berkeley’s world-renowned massages will be just the right remedy.

Churchill War Rooms – This secret WW2 bunker and museum tells the tale of Winston Churchill’s life and legacy. Coined as one of London’s “top secret venues”, the private dining at Winston Churchill’s museum is also an elegant space, offering creative and seasonal dining options to guests. For London visitors who wish to explore more about the city’s extensive history, the war rooms are a must-visit.

Little’s Panoramic City Tours – Whether you’ve got an hour after a long day of meetings and want to explore a bit of London, or have a few days at the end of your business trip, let Little’s drive you in the utmost comfort to see some of the best sights London has to offer. We will take you to some hot-spots. Or, for extended tours we can take you to Brighton, a lovely English seaside town, or beyond.

From Selkies and Kelpies to The Loch Ness Monster, Unicorns and The legend of Sawney Bean, Scotland is rife with tales of myth and legend. Whether your chauffeur driven car takes you to Loch Coruisk to go kelpie-spotting, to Loch Ness to try your chances of capturing a glimpse of the water beast ‘Nessie’ underneath the surface of the murky loch; or to the capital city of Edinburgh for a tour of the haunted, underground vaults – let your Little’s chauffeur guide help you to discover any of Scotland’s famous myths and legends.

Tartan, the symbol of the clan, is best described by the Gaelic word breacan, meaning chequered. Tartan is synonymous with the symbol of clan kinship and each clan has their own individual version. Do you have connections to Scotland? Let us help you discover which clan you originate from and what tartan your clan associates with. Whether it’s taking you to The Clan Tartan Centre on the outskirts of Edinburgh to see a kilt being made, or transporting you to visit the Lochcarron Weavers shop in the Highlands for a truly exceptional tartan experience, let us build a custom-built itinerary especially for you.

From scallops to salmon, langoustine to lobster and from crab to cod, Scotland’s lochs, seas and rivers are swimming with an abundance of fresh seafood – enticing tourists and locals alike. Touring the length and breadth of Scotland with your chauffeur gives you the complete freedom to customise the tour to individual seafood preferences. Whether that’s delighting in the fresh, smoked salmon at The Luss Seafood Bar in Loch Lomond – just a short half an hour drive from Glasgow city centre, or a bespoke tour of the seafood restaurants along Route NC 500, contact us today with your ideas or let us customise an amazing experience for you.
